In a holy crap stat o' the week, AT&T sold a record setting 9.4 million smartphones in the fourth quarter of 2011. 7.6 million of that 9.4 million were iPhones. 7.6 MILLION. That's a ridiculous 81 percent of all AT&T smartphones sold! That's only 1.8 million phones left to split between Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry (ha!). That is freaking nuts.

AT&T said that "the majority" of the 7.6 million iPhones sold were iPhone 4S and that they sold 3.3 million more iPhones than Verizon. It's not that Android is doing terribly—AT&T just had its best Android sales quarter with Android sales twice as much as they were last year—it's just that the iPhone is a relentlessly dominating beast of a phone that just won't stop selling.
